Embodiment Construction
[0025] The implementation procedure of chromosome preparation at the thick line stage of cucumber of the present invention includes:
[0026] (1) Material preparation: Take appropriate size flower buds at the early and full blooming stage of cucumber plants, and place them in a 3:1 E:G (ethanol: glacial acetic acid) fixative for at least 24 hours. Change the flower buds to 70% ethanol and set aside.
[0027] (2) Select the anthers in the thick line stage: take out a fixed flower bud, separate the anthers under a microscope, take a quarter of the anthers on a clean glass slide, and add a few drops of 45% acetic acid. Soften, tap the anthers gently with tweezers, cover with a cover glass, press gently, and then observe under an ordinary optical phase contrast microscope. If the chromosomes are observed to be in the thick line stage, place the remaining anthers Put it into a 1.5ml centrifuge tube, add a small amount of E:G fixative, and store at 4°C for later use.
